My 2000 Six cylinder, automatic, air conditioned Wrangler got up in the RED on the temp gauge this weekend. I have it on the ranch and only drive it off road.. and it hasn't been run in 20 weeks till this weekend.
I put her in neutral and ran her up to 2500 for a couple of minutes.. the temp came down to just above the 210 mark and stayed there as I watched closely for the rest of the days use. She never did lose any coolant. But she tried to run hot all day long.
So back here in civilization again.. I went to O'Rileys and purchased a fan clutch and also a thermostat. Both of which I will install next Saturday out on the ranch.
O'Rileys only carries ONE fan clutch for this ride. I purchased a MURRAY H/D fan clutch.. My question is do you are anyone have experience with this particular fan clutch?
Is the H/D feature going to be a nuisanse? Making too much noise? Should I go down and purchase a MOPAR clutch? I need a little advice here!! Since it is a one time install and is really in the armpit of the state, I don't want to take an incorrect part out there and install it only to be unimpressed at the service it provides..
So any and all comments are welcome.
